Positive Posting- Kiva.org

kaira — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 08:26:03 -0600

I love your idea about positive posting. It so important that we read uplifting stories.

I have a passion for empowering women entrepreneurs and the other day I came across this site- Kiva.org. It's a site that you can donate money to and they give that women to women entrepreneurs in developing countries. They money is given to them as a loan and helps them build their business. To read more about it see my blog post: Helping entrepreneurs in the developing world "go for it" $25 at a time.

Good luck with future positive posts. It's inspiring to us all!

It's good to know it comes across the way I want it to. This weekend was the first time I was with a group of people who didn't need an explanation of what a blog is first, so I had never really practiced my actual blog pitch before!

You may not have had business cards

But you did a really good job of explaining and pitching your blog. I remembered it. The "creating a life worth living" line that you use is great and immediately made me want to read it. Great job.

Blogging Basics: 6 steps... notes and slides

Here's my notes on what happened at this session:

http://liz-henry.blogspot.com/2008/10/liveblogging-take-two.html

There's a lot I missed, especially in the questions and in what my fellow panelists said. Did anyone else post notes?

The entire first hour we were all in one group. Maybe our intrepid liveblogger had technical difficulties! 8-)

I arrived home about 2 hours ago (a skosh less than 6 hours on the way home - not bad at all!) and I look forward to reading all of the liveblogs once I unpack and get some pajamas on.

Thank you for bringing BlogHer to the East Coast. Washington DC? You ladies are in for a real treat!

Yes, thanks!

I hope it becomes an annual event too - it was great to meet other bloggers who actually live in my area, and I am definitely going to use what I learned to work on taking my blog to the next level. Now I have to go look through all the cards I collected yesterday and check out the blogs of people I met (and note to self: get a card for my blog before the next Reach Out tour!).

Not only was the conference an amazing experience, thanks to the live bloggers I can learn from the sessions I was not in.

Thank you all for your hard work, and I hope the Reach Out Tour becomes an annual event!

But perhaps there is a market for cookie magazines?

Erm, or maybe I'm just hungry. :)

Great seeing you!
